NRC postpones release of Indian Point study

BUCHANAN — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has pushed back the release of its environmental study of Indian Point.

The study, which was slated to come out this month, will now be released Nov. 19, the NRC said on Tuesday.

Indian Point is seeking a 20-year extension of the operating licences for its two nuclear power units, which expire in 2013 and 2015. The NRC study will outline what impacts Indian Point will have on the environment if it’s given the extension.
